Consistent driving...I've become much more accurate, but I need to get better.

I can not get my 30-60 yard shots close enough for easy birdie putts.

No consistency and when things aren't going great i get frustrated and make it worse. Played yesterday and was striking the ball real well but couldn't make a putt and bogied holes 1-7.. got frustrated and doubled 8 and 9. Went to the back bogie, double, birdie, par, quad, double, bogie, bogie, bogie. Shot 94 and the day before I shot a personal best 84.

And yes I know I suck.

Focusing.


Mental part of my golf game keeps me from getting to that scratch level.

I walk a lot and find that when I get out with my group I shoot really bad. When I walk I will set before I go if it is practice or I will score. Depends on time or other factors. That being said when I score I shoot well. When I get out with my group l play with I never shoot as well as I do when I walk. I do get a bit nervy but get over it quick. I think it's more a pace issue. When I walk I can focus on the next shot as I approach the ball. Probably need a preshot routine that I can use when I walk that can also help me focus when I cart with the guys. 5" course right?

All of a sudden I started cutting across the ball. Kills my distance and the ball moves right


Yeah, same here. Pisses me the frick off, and I'm playing the best I've ever played right now. I've gotten good off the tee, pretty good fw/hybrid player, decent from 75-125, good inside 50, and a pretty good putter, but my 6-8 iron play is way too inconsistent. I used to play a draw and everything with a 6, 7, 8, and sometimes 9 iron is an inconsistent piece of shite now.

My left wrist (I'm right handed) has been killing me. I've taken two weeks off and it's still is giving me problems. What am I doing wrong, bro? I know I'm chopping behind the ball, causing large divots and jarring my arm, but I can't get it corrected.

I had that problem. I actually think I fractured a bone in my left hand, but I'm not a pussy so I didn't go see a doctor about it. And who wants to say yeah I fractured my hand because I had the shanks. I strengthened my right hand grip and that pretty much fixed the hand and the shanks.

Biggest problem is not getting on the golf course enough. Therefore my game is incredibly inconsistent.

I had this problem as well..Spread your feet out more..

When coming on your downswing, when you are bending the knee, you are probobly dipping the shoulder as well..stay more upright and spread the feet wider..

I had this problem and it was because the shitty local course was so dry and had little of no grass on the fairways. The ground was so hard didn't matter if you hit the ball behind or perfect it was hurting my wrist and fingers. I quit the course for other reasons but didn't realize how much it sucked and hurt until I came back and played after several months.

My problem is scoring. I drive it well and hit the long clubs really good but fail to make as many birds and eagles as I should. Bad wedges and bad reading on the greens

chances are you sprained it pretty bad, it just takes time. I am always fighting a wrist injury so it should pass in a few weeks.
